Model overview

1. Reborn design

The appearance design of the new Santana can no longer find the "Poussin" He Zhijun's shadow. The family-style front face is similar in design to the new Lavida and other models. Compared with the previous generation model, it is more in line with the aesthetics of the new era. Among them, the new car has smooth and regular streamlines, simple design style, and is quite attractive. The popular "matryoshka" design has become commonplace, and the problem of homogeneity will cause visual fatigue to a certain extent. However, for the new Santana, the advantage of adopting a family-style design is to more reliably meet user needs; the second is to unify the style to show that it is the latest research and development model of Volkswagen, rather than an old product that is out of date.

The interior design of the new Santana does not have much new ideas. The traditional T-shaped layout is very common in many Volkswagen brand models. Some models use wood grain decoration on the center console panel to enhance the grade, including the steering wheel. , instrument panel, door panels and seats are all much better than the previous generation.
